Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). The gauge on a size E oxygen cylinder reads 1900 psi. Its cylinder factor is 0.28 L/psi. How many litres V can be used before the safe residual of 200 psi is reached?
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient breathes 12 times a minute with a tidal volume of 450 mL. The anatomical dead space is 120 mL. Find the alveolar ventilation V̇A in L/min.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A size H oxygen cylinder (factor 3.14 L/psi) reads 1900 psi and runs at 10 L/min. Keeping a safe residual of 200 psi, how many minutes t will it last? Round down to a whole minute.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient on high-flow nasal oxygen has SpO₂ 98% on FiO₂ 0.8 and a respiratory rate of 36/min. Find the ROX index ROX = (SpO₂/FiO₂)/RR, with SpO₂ in percent and FiO₂ as a fraction. Round to two decimal places.
Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A patient on high-flow nasal oxygen has SpO₂ 89% on FiO₂ 0.6 and a respiratory rate of 35/min. Find the ROX index ROX = (SpO₂/FiO₂)/RR, with SpO₂ in percent and FiO₂ as a fraction. Round to two decimal places.
Answer key
- 1. V = 4396 L
- 2. V = 476 L
- 3. V̇A = 3.96 L/min
- 4. t = 533 min
- 5. ROX = 3.4
- 6. ROX = 4.24
